On the grassy steps of an ancient amphitheater, you’re the lone audience to a peach singing its floral melody to the spearmint sprigs inching toward it – there to witness the moment green tea, sweet peach and fresh mint birth a new harmonic.

MY FAVORITE Iced Sangria Black:

A fruit-soaked summer tea with citrus notes, a hint of cinnamon & a touch of sweetness.

Apple and orange play bocce in the yard while hibiscus, ever the summer hostess, sets the back-deck table with lime bowls, lighting cinnamon-stick torches and stirring a pitcher of clinking delight for a long summer evening with friends.
